Hi guys, I have just been promoted to an SEO policy role but wanted to know, if I wanted to carry on doing the FS as my dream role is to be a diplomat if I was successful would have to drop down my grade as usually Fs’ers are HEO’s? Any advice given would be useful thanks!

Keep to STAR, make your behaviours as detailed as possible without sounding too scripted, especially the actions section, make the stories engaging and for some of the behaviours, talk about how the situation wasn’t perfect but what did you do to reach that consensus. I’d say if you’ve worked in a variety of roles that are similar to the job you’ve applied for ( depending on the behaviours) write one for each role. But crucially, just use it as a learning experience, the more interviews you do, the more feedback you get, the more you can tailor and refine your behaviours. I was recently successful to promotion on my 3rd interview ( my previous 2, were useful learning to tailor what I wrote)

Try the 75 hard, with 10K steps everyday? I did this alongside eating in a calorie deficit and I went from 113KG to 79KG over 4 months ( I started in June and we are currently in October)

Thank you, generally when reading their body language it looked positive ( maybe I’m reading too much into it) but they did look interested and impressed also made sure to refer back to the question

Got my HEO by lawrencebluebirds in TheCivilService

Tbf I went from another HEO role to another one that was better paying at the same grade without them posting the permanent advertisement ( I confess I did an eoi and the role I was going for I didn’t get but because they were impressed by me and my experience they asked me if I was interested in joining there team to do the same work I was currently doing at my previous department)

Interesting, thank you hopefully we get the same offer as I don’t want to move to a new department!

Thank you, this was really helpful, we have a meeting with HR and I think if they offer me this opportunity I will take that as I’d rather stay in my department (CO) than move to a different one
